FAQ

Confirm the **recommended** diagnostic procedures for compression testing? keyboard_arrow_down

120 PSI minimum is required with no more than 10 psi difference between cylinders at the final reading, indicating proper engine performance and mechanical integrity.

What tools are **calibrated** for fluid capacity measurements in the circuit? keyboard_arrow_down

3.0 quarts U.S. (2.8 litres) total capacity with filter is the specification for engine oil, requiring proper measurement during maintenance intervals.

Identify the **applicable** component identification for piston orientation? keyboard_arrow_down

Arrow marking on XLH883 and 1200cc piston tops must point toward engine front, establishing correct cylinder positioning during assembly and repair.

What procedures are **exact** for valve seat width verification? keyboard_arrow_down

0.040-0.062 po. (1.02-1.57 mm) width specification must be maintained with center location at 2/3 of seat outer edge for proper valve seating and combustion seal.
